WATFORD vs EVERTON - FULL TIME

Emphatic win for the Toffees! They scored three goals altogether but thought that they were losing it when Watford made their substitutions and it all started to click for them. But in came Ossie who made that tad bit of difference.

Everton started the game with full confidence. The wingers - Arteta and Fernandes - looked like mouth-watering prospects with their great control and excellent flair. They bamboozled the Watford defenders with their trickery and gule.

The backline continued to be water-tight and AJ, ran riot upfront. The defenders really did not know how to handle him, which led to AJ being hauled down in the penalty box. AJ returned the favour by putting the ball into the back of the net.

Manny was also on the scoresheet, his first ever goal and definitely not his last. Manu was totally rocking on the right side of the pitch and looked set for an excellent career with Everton is Moyes is given the money to sign him on permanently.

Beats is still a little rusty in the scoring department - he totally missed a sitter - So did Timmy as well. But both gave good accounts of themselves.

Cars remains the quiet but effective guy, and that goes for all four defenders who truly played their hearts out. It was nice to see Nayce playing as well.

WATFORD vs EVERTON - Preview

Everton has to win this if they want to stay in the hunt for the final European placing. If they so choose to lose, their entire season would come to a nought.

AJ seems like he'll not be playing due to injury and Beats might once again come in for him. Hopefully Moyes willnot choose to revert to a defensive play.

EVERTON vs TOTTENHAM - FULL TIME

Disaster time! second loss at home, and a sucker punch goal by Jermaine Jenas. I do hope the the Toffees can recover from this and prove me wrong. I feel that it's a wet and slippery downhill slide as the Toffees can start kissing their European dreams goodbye.

So is it a tactical error by Moyes to play so defensively? I guess what he had wanted to do was for the best of intentions, but it fell flat on his face.

Give Beats a Chance?

I've always believe that the six million pounds that was splashed out for Beats was worth the money. He has proven himself at this level and he should try to prove himself once again. Last year, he scored 10 goals.

I still recall the beautiful goal he scored against Arsenal. He can deliver, and the time is now. He has to be true to himself and not be concerned about AJ's style of play because he can only score when Beats is playing his own style.

The Dec 06 speculation that Davis was true. I'd also mention that once Beats gets back his confidence, he can deliver once again. I stick by that belief.

Go Beats!

EVERTON vs TOTTENHAM - Preview

Potentially hazardous match as it's against a team that usually blow hot and cold. They may have thrashed Fulham last week, but that does not mean that they can do that again this week. Tottenham's strikers are now coming into form, but they will have to break the resolute defending of Yobo, Lescott, Stubbsy and Neville.

Everton can keep another clean sheet if they keep their focus.

Urgent Nugent Voiced His Intentions

Being a childhood fan of the Toffees, Preston NE's striker David Nugent has mentioned that he hopes to play for Everton. We hope he will come in to replace Beats. Don't think Moyes would want to sell Beats or loan him out? Hopefully he can regain his confidence. I've never once believed that a good player can suddenly play crap.

It has everything to do with team dynamics, your leaders and your stretagy.
Well, Everton is having quite an exciting season already.

Howard & Valente Join Everton!!!

Finally, for three million pounds, we have gotten ourselves a reliable goalie. No more clangers! Glory days are back again!

Latest, we have even extended Valente's contract. The Toffees are definitely building for the future.

EVERTON vs BLACKURN - FULL TIME

Gamst Pedersen was out! That was the best news all day long. But Hibbo was out once again due to his recurring injury, and Ossie was suspended.

But no matter what, a 1-0 scoreline and that three points is still what we have been chasing. let's take it one game at a time. We'll definitely breach the supposed 40 points safety mark when we win the next match.

Is Arteta leaving?

From the way he replied (If he's not misquoted), he sounds ready to leave in the summber. But anyhoos, no player is bigger than the club. If they want to leave, let them leave. We only need true blue players.

LIVERPOOL vs EVERTON - FULL TIME

Throw everything they could, even much more than a kitchen sink, and the Toffees flinched not! Benitez called Everton a "small club" in his post-match interview. But as the dust clears, one thing's for sure, Everton has not been defeated in the two games that we played Liverpool this season. Heck, we even humiliated them with a 3-0 beating earlier on.

Dented hopes of even a whiff at the premiership title, nobody can blame Big Ben for being so livid!

Nuff of Pool jokes, Everton proofed to be a tough nut to crack.

Yobo and Stubbsy were giants in the defence; clearing every high or low balls that Liverpool tried to put in. Neville and Cars defended the back line with fury. Not allowing too many balls to bypass them. Hibbo and Lescott stemmed out the threat of their wingers. Three guys were pushing up, AJ, Ossie and Arteta. They had to jostle for survival in the enemy's territory. This let with Timmy. He was everywhere, in attack, in the middle of the park, even in defence marking bean-pole Crouch.

All in all, Moyes got it right, and cry baby Benitez did not!

LIVERPOOL vs EVERTON - Preview

Simply put, with AJ - The Toffees to lose 1-0, without AJ, man...3-0? I'm not too sure of the Toffees beating the liverpudians, but they must put up a good show. Sentiments gets a better of me. I'll take a draw.

Is He a Good Player?

With a departure of Davis (He had never settled into Everton) and the arrival of Fernandes from Benfica, I was wondering if we should rub our hands in glee. World class player? Represented Portugal in nearlyevery age group team, except the national team.

Is he that good? Personally, it'll matter less if he performs a tad bit better than Davis.

We need wingers who can make a difference. Oh, did I say that Davis's Fulham lost in a mid-week match? And he was still saying that his current club should be aove Everton in terms of points.

Remember Killer? He's going down with Wigan...so too will Fulham. They may not be relegated but their season is considered over. They are miles away from the top six teams.
